Products that do what Campsite – Posts, calls, docs, and chat in one app does
I'm the co-founder of Campsite. We were tired of constant app switching, notification hunting, and team conversations getting lost in the void. The modern comms toolkit has become way too scattered for companies: docs in one app, calls in another, posts and chat in another, and everyone ends up copy-pasting links all over the place and fiddling with permissions to make sure people can see the right things. Campsite is a reflection of how we think teams should communicate: posts are threaded by default, async friendly, topical, and have nested comments for structured discussions calls can be…

You use Twitter, Facebook as well as email to communicate with your customers? With all these different services, it has become very hard to manage and keep track of all the conversations happening. My co-founder and I noticed this some months ago and asked people how they would like to handle this. And so we have come up with a new solution. We launched into public beta about two weeks ago. The problem was: We had a very hard time explaining to people how we help them and why that's relevant. We were too technical and nobody really understood exactly what it was that we did. So we took a…

We built TripJam after being frustrated with planning trips in regular group chats and trying to organize information across multiple apps. It combines: - Group chat that keeps all travel discussions in one thread - Interactive maps where everyone can pin locations and add notes - Collaborative itineraries that sync with your calendar - AI travel assistant that suggests activities and helps optimize your plans This solves trying to coordinate information with everyone using messages, Google Maps, Google Docs, and travel guides. Everything syncs in real-time so everyone stays on the same…

Hey HN, We've just launched our team collaboration platform where we're bringing together all the important tools under one app. We've been frustrated in the past with tools which had a huge disconnect between projects and chat. It always inevitably leads to teams using external chat apps for "project management" and then abandoning the main tools altogether. We're creating tools we hope teams will stick with. Super integrated Chat. Convert comments to tasks and have them auto added to project boards. Automations to help massively reduce burden on the team. Workflows, Time-Off and so much…

Link to test: http://getmeetingsapp.com Basically it is a web-based chat application, with private and public rooms and real-time file sharing. It is currently in a half-arsed situation so needs lot of work but wanted to get some feedback from you. Thanks PS. I created a public room for feature requests, just in case: http://getmeetingsapp.com/rooms/4e7f64ea17ade37b71000002

Hi everyone, we (Lincoln Loop) are a development/consulting shop launching our first product, Ginger. Our team is spread across many time zones and has an aversion to disruptive/ineffective meetings. We've been looking for a tool that can help us have discussions and share information without interrupting our developers while they are in the flow. Email, Basecamp, Google Wave, and IRC all came close, but always fell short in some critical manner. We built Ginger to scratch our own itch hoping it scratches some of yours too. https://gingerhq.com Sign up is 1-click (Google/Facebook) or just a…

This weekend I finally shipped Gryt, a project I’ve been building since 2022 — an open-source, self-hostable Discord-style app focused on reliable voice chat + text. I’m the creator. I started it after getting fed up with Discord disconnects/paywalls and wanted something self-hosted and auditable. I started on this in 2022 and had an early proof-of-concept working back then (auth + friends list), but I quickly realized WebRTC voice isn’t something you can duct-tape together. I spent a big chunk of the next couple years learning the stack (ICE/DTLS-SRTP, NAT traversal, SFU design),…

Hey HN, one of the co-founders of Upmate here! We kicked off Upmate to scratch our own itch: keeping mobile app users in the loop about new features without messing around with native code. Our inspiration? The awesome WhatsNewKit [https://github.com/SvenTiigi/WhatsNewKit]. But we needed something more flexible—something that could be updated remotely. As mobile startup veterans, we've been burned too many times by ridiculous pricing plans and limitations. We were fed up with all the overpriced, restrictive options out there for in-app messaging. So, we built Upmate. Why?…

Hi HN! We’re Jake and Akshay, co-founders of Rendevu (https://rendevu.co). In our experience, as teams grow it gets increasingly difficult for everyone to stay in the loop while also easily finding all of the information that they need to continue executing. Some teams try to solve this issue with tools like Slack, but the synchronous nature of a chat app result in members of the team often missing or losing files and information. The chat interface also does not easily support two-way interactions with your other tools. At the core, the focus of the app is this full…

Hello everyone! I have a hobby project that has become fairly full featured that I figured I would share. The idea of MinimalChat has been to create a project that is a lightweight and dead simple application that can be deployed locally in a few seconds (with docker). While of course also having most of the nice to have features and looking pretty nice. A nice bonus is it a Progressive Web Application so it can be installed like a normal application to your mobile device. It has a full mobile UI. For those using Chrome and Edge you can also locally download, load and host entirely via your…

Hey HN! What does a regular workflow at a startup look like? Probably like this: > One founder talks to customers > Another founder builds > A customer asks for something. The first founder explains it to the second. The second founder explains it to Claude > Two weeks any one of the founders asks one of the following questions: \* Why are we building it this way? \* What happened here? \* What did we promise ACME we’d do? \* How far along are we on X? > Then you scream on the inside because you have to figure out what happened... Before agents, the person who did one part of the work…

Hello! For the last year I've been working on a side project, a booking management system. Among others, it allows anyone who owns a business that accepts bookings to manage them, to communicate with customers, to easily create a personalized website or to embed a calendar widget on any existing website. Link: https://www.planorio.com There is still a long way to go, but I feel that now it is ready for some very direct feedback. :) It mainly consists of an Angular frontend, a backend written in Node.js and some small tools written in PHP and Kotlin. I also created a hybrid mobile…

Hey HN! Guestboard (https://guestboard.co) is something we've been working on for the last year or so, and are excited to be sharing it with you all. Guestboard keeps all your big group events under one roof, and includes a growing number of optional widgets to help your event, currently: • A Central message board (forum) • Shared resources (to post important links like GDocs, lineup posters, etc) • Airbnb map • Timeline/Schedule • Interactive checklist (my favorite) • Parter Deals (so you can save money on goods and services related to your specific event type) Important…

Hello HN, I built Teamates.io[0] - a place for professionals to have small coffee chats with a random partner right now. Think of it like a virtual coffeeshop where you can chat with strangers while you're taking a little break. It's in open beta and you can try using it right now. Please be nice and professional to each other :) I noticed over the course of pandemic I missed random coffee chats with my coworkers and random chats with strangers. I think it's important to have these unplanned conversations. I would really appreciate the feedback from you all, since I believe it's a pretty…

(Or really, any meeting that's more "download of information" than "let's collaborate") It's called All Hands, and we've launched today: https://allhands.app The idea is that instead of pressing the big red stop button on the side of your business every week in order to keep everyone up-to-date, you instead schedule in and pre-record the things they need to know. All Hands does the workflow part, lets you include other people (so it's easy to have different people presenting), makes recording easy (all in the browser, no extensions - MediaRecorder is cool!), and then does the…
